News on Ad Nubes; Hike-and-Fly ries race; Ogoy now available in four languages; A look back at the 2026 Engelberg Cup; Aaron Durogati’s Hike-and-Fly world record.
As the world of paragliding seems to be moving ever faster, posting news and videos on a monthly basis is a slightly too broad timeframe. So, from now on, I’ll be issuing a bulletin once or twice a month. As I’ve already published four monthly reviews and outlooks this year – which will be replaced by the bulletin – the first bulletin will start with issue no. 5.
Anyone interested in hike-and-fly competitions can now register for the ries race. For those who prefer to take it a bit easier, there’s a Fun Class, and for the pros, the Champions Class. As the name suggests, the competition takes place on the Hochries, a well-known flying hill not far from Lake Chiemsee.
We’ve just received word that Ogoy will be available in four languages from now on. In addition to the existing languages, German and English, French and Spanish are now also available in the account settings.
If you’d like to read a review of another hike-and-fly competition – the Engelberg Cup in Switzerland – we recommend the review by Beyond Glides.
Aaron Durogati has achieved an extreme hike-and-fly feat. A short documentary about the world record on Swiss television:
